\"TwistedBack in 2008, after milking the poor cash cow to death, Motorola decided to can their once crazy-popular RAZR<\/a> series of phones. A good thing, too, as their Android line of phones are really quite good, and have helped them climb out of the dreaded red end<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But today over on Slash Gear<\/a>, a prototype RAZR3 has risen from the grave to show us a twisted world where Motorola feature phones were the hotness, and smart phones were only for the geeks and their pocket protectors (like me…). It’s quite chilling.<\/p>\n
